As of September 2024, Snapchat boasts over 400 million daily active users, maintaining its stronghold among Generation Z. Known for its disappearing messages and creative filters, Snapchat remains a dominant force in the social media landscape, particularly among users aged 13-24, who make up nearly 60% of its user base. While the platform has evolved with new features like Stories and Spotlight, many outside its core demographic struggle to grasp its appeal and functionality.

Snapchat’s popularity among younger users raises concerns about privacy, cyberbullying, and exposure to inappropriate content.  Parven delved into the hidden risks associated with Snapchat use by children, and discussed strategies for parents to protect their kids, offering practical advice on monitoring app use and fostering open conversations about online safety.
